I haven't been to camp but here's my best representation of what I can gather of the lineup from reports and other sources. Of course we will get the official pre-season game 1 depth chart tomorrow morning.

650k is not good when you only have 10 games a year per teamand 6 markets to sell to advertisers. You think that makes for a lucrative tv deal? This leagues only hope is NFL farm team affiliation, and the NFL owners said not a chance in the world.

However MLS, and NHL have attendance. Crissakes one of these UFL teams tried giving tickets away with the purchase of a whopper or something like that and couldn't get 5k in attendance.

Lions gotta be the team to beat.

Yeah, Scheifle wasn't good enough for Team Canada in February. The Team Canada coaches & managers can GTH.

I actually watched most of that game, randomly, and while there were some softies, I thought the Canada D had some breakdowns. At least one turnover behind their own net, and at least two goals were screens and/or deflected in front. Tal-Bot wasn't great but not entirely his fault. When push cake to shove, though, the Canadian offense looked like they were playing pond hockey out there, when it mattered. The OT goal was ridiculous. May as well have been the Jets top line vs a Tier 3 team playing outta the Highlander...

650000 in the US is terrible. That's like 65000 watching the CFL in Canada. The only reason they average 15000 a game is because St Louis pads the attendance average & even then, the Battlehawks are drawing significantly less than in years before as are the Washington Defenders. As far as the NHL goes, most markets are averaging 90% capacity at home for attendance. The UFL is failing badly. Just one guy is keeping that going. The owner Steve Repole who thinks operating a league fron a central location is better than individual owners, coaches & scouting. Yeah, it's working out great so far, isn't it?
